Mad (Black Girl's Interludes)
In today's time black girls are always bashed, shamed, made fun of; we are always labeled as mad, angry, bitter, and complaining, but no one sees the bigger picture. It's draining.
You got the light, count it all joy
You got the right to be mad
But when you carry it alone you find it only getting in the way
You got the right to say what you feel
No bullshit of the other
I ran into this girl, she said, "Why you always blaming?"
"Why you can't just face it?"
Be mad
"Why you always gotta be so mad?"
Be mad
"Why you always talking shit, always be complaining?"
"Why you always gotta be, why you always gotta be so mad?"
Be mad
I got a lot to be mad about
But when you carry it alone you find it only getting in the way
I ran into this girl, I said, "I'm tired of explaining"
Man, this shit is draining
But I'm not really allowed to be mad
